Cambodia, officially known as the Kingdom of Cambodia and once known as the Khmer Empire, is a country located in the southern portion of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. Its total landmass is 181,035 square kilometres (69,898 sq mi), bordered by Thailand to the northwest, Laos to the northeast, Vietnam to the east, and the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest.
Several factors have made Cambodia a prime destination for child sex tourists, including corruption, poverty, and failure to enforce certain laws. The authors of a 2011 Ecpat International report identified a number of cultural and sociological factors that led to Cambodian children's involvement in sex with adults. "It has been observed that Cambodian children are indeed expected to abide by rules set forth by adults, and saying 'no' to an adult is not easily tolerated," reads the report.[1]
Michael Lewis Clark became the first United States citizen charged under after surveillance team members from Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE) and Friends-International observed Clark conversing with young boys in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. He escorted the boys to the Pyco Guesthouse, a facility commonly used by foreign travelers to have sex with children, and was found by the Cambodian National Police with two young boys, aged ten and thirteen, nude. ICE agents executed a search warrant on Clark's residence and found paraphernalia including lubricants, North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) bulletins, Viagra, child pornography, and pamphlets about sponsoring children.
